I will miss teaching at this college next year, but I do not regret my decision not to renew my contract.
Yep, it's done! I thanked the administration for offering me some classes next year, but turned them down. In an earlier post I wrote that I was thinking about walking away and how I had a sudden moment of clarity:
https://hive.blog/hive-147010/@hirohurl/chop-down-the-tree-and-destroy-it-yet-leave-the-stump-with-its-roots-in-the-ground
All that remains now is to enjoy my last teaching term and give my students good value. They are a great bunch and teaching the second and third years has been a lot of fun.
I was heading off campus at lunchtime when I was called over by a couple of my former students. We were joined by one of my current students and chatted merrily away for half an hour or so.
As I was about to leave, one of the students grabbed her phone and took this pic using the "BeReal" app to get the double-pic effect.
Here's some info on Wikipedia about the app: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeReal

I bet it's a relief, even if there are some things you enjoy about college life. Glad some of your students spent time time with you, looks like fun!
Wow, David! Definining moments of clarity like that are the kind that change the course of one's life! Congratulations and I wish you immense success in that which you choose to focus next! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
Thank you @tydynrain - yes, the move had been on my mind for a while, but the felled tree was the final straw! (I love mixed metaphors!)

Wow, I know you'll miss your students by next year. However, I know that your next point of call will also be amazing. Goodluck friend.
Sadly we must move on in life at times as our journey develops treasuring the memories of the moments we create along they way.

Teaching is fun especially when you have a good connection with your students.
That's a lovely picture, you're going to miss your students and from this picture, they like you. Weldone.
Thanks @parkerlee - I've always enjoyed teaching at this college, but the current second and third years are are a great bunch. Lots of laughter and play-acting.
